Best Orange Flan With Raspberry Coulis Recipes

FLAN DE NARANJA: ORANGE FLAN

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Put a heavy saucepan over medium heat for 30 seconds. Add 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup orange juice.
• With a long-handled wooden spoon, keep stirring sugar and juice mixture constantly in the pan until sauce is reduced and thickened. It should be a rich medium brown color (caramelized). This will take 3 to 5 minutes or so on medium-to-low heat.
• Remove from heat and quickly spoon caramelized sugar sauce into 6 ramekins or a large baking dish. (If you wait, sugar will cool and harden.) Set aside.
• Gather the ingredients.
• Grate peel of half of a large orange and half of a lemon into a mixing bowl.
• Pour about 1/2 inch of warm water into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish for boiling water bath if using ramekins. If using one large open baking dish, be sure that the dish is tall enough to accommodate the water necessary to cover 3/4 or the height of the dish.
• Add 1/2 cup orange juice, the half-and-half, and citrus zest to a heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir. Scald 2 cups of half-and-half in the saucepan and remove from heat. Keep a close eye on the pan, so the cream does not boil over.
• Meanwhile in a medium mixing bowl , beat slightly 3 eggs.
• Mix in 1/4 cup sugar.
• Stirring constantly, gradually add hot cream to egg yolk mixture. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
• Pour the mixture slowly into another mixing bowl, straining it using cheesecloth to line the strainer. This should catch all the citrus zest. Discard cheesecloth.
• Ladle mixture into ramekins.
• Place each of the ramekins in the baking dish with water. If the water level does not reach 3/4 of the way up the sides of the ramekins, carefully pour more water in.
• Bake uncovered in a water bath at 325 F for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean when inserted halfway between center and the edge of dish.
• Carefully remove each ramekin from the water bath. Set on a cooling rack until lukewarm, then chill flan thoroughly in the refrigerator-at least 1 hour.
• When ready to serve, unmold the flan by running a knife around the inside edge of the dish.
• Place a small dessert plate on the top of the ramekin.
• With one hand under the ramekin and the other on top of the place, turn over.
• Tap the ramekin and the flan should drop onto the plate. If it does not, carefully "prod" the flan out of the ramekin with a small paring knife. It should slide out of the ramekin onto the plate and the sauce will surround it.
• Garnish with orange peel or a slice of orange, if desired.
• Serve and enjoy!

DUTCH BABY PANCAKE WITH RASPBERRY-ORANGE COULIS

Steps:

• For the coulis: In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the raspberries, sugar, orange juice and vanilla. Cook, stirring frequently, until the raspberries are completely broken down and the sauce is syrupy, 10 minutes. Strain, a little at a time, through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, stirring to separate the seeds. Stir the orange zest in the strained sauce. Serve warm or set aside to cool. (The coulis can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days.)
• For the Dutch baby: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Put a 10-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven to heat for 10 minutes.
• Put the eggs in a large bowl and whisk vigorously until frothy. Whisk in the milk and then add the flour, vanilla and salt, and whisk until combined. Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and add the butter, swirling until it is melted and coats the pan. Pour in the batter and immediately return the skillet to the oven. Bake until the pancake is puffed and golden brown, 16 to 18 minutes.
• Serve the Dutch baby with the raspberry coulis.

ORANGE LIQUEUR RASPBERRIES

Steps:

• Pour the raspberries in a bowl and add the sugar and orange flavored liqueur. Stir lightly. Gently mash half the raspberries with a fork. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow to sit for about 1 hour until softened and juicy.
• To serve, fill the bottom half of a stem glass with the raspberries and spoon a dollop of creme fraiche on top, and place a Cinnamon Elephant Ears cookie on top of the creme fraiche.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
• Combine 1/2 cup of the sugar and kosher salt and pour it over a flat surface such as a wooden board or marble slab. Unfold the sheet of puff pastry onto the sugar mixture.
• Combine 12 cup of the sugar and the cinnamon and spread it evenly on the puff pastry. This is not about sprinkling, it's about an even covering of sugar. With a rolling pin, lightly roll the dough until it's a 13-inch square and the sugar is pressed into the puff pastry on top and bottom. Fold the sides of the square toward the center so they go halfway to the middle. Fold them again so the two folds meet exactly at the middle of the dough. Then fold one half over the other half as though closing a book. You will have 6 layers. Slice the dough into 38-inch slices and place the slices, cut side up, on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
• Bake the cookies for 6 minutes, or until caramelized and brown on the bottom, then turn with a spatula and bake for another 3 to 5 minutes, until caramelized on the other side. Transfer to a baking rack to cool.

FLAN DE NARANJA (ORANGE FLAN)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Fill a baking dish half way with hot water for the water bath.
• Heat sugar and water in a heavy-based saucepan over medium-low heat; constantly swirl the sugar mixture in the pan until sugar dissolves and turns into a golden-brown caramel syrup, about 10 minutes. Watch carefully, as sugar burns easily. Pour melted caramel into a shallow baking dish and gently tilt dish to coat the bottom with caramel.
• Mix egg yolks, condensed milk, evaporated milk, orange juice, and orange zest in a large oven-safe bowl; gently pour custard over caramel in baking dish. Cover the flan with foil to prevent a skin forming on top, if you like.
• Set bowl into the water bath and bake in the preheated oven until until flan has set but still jiggles slightly when moved, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Allow flan to cool to room temperature, then remove foil, and place flan in the fridge to chill, about 2 hours.
• Run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen from dish; turn flan onto a rimmed serving plate to release custard and let caramel sauce flow over the flan.

RASPBERRY COULIS

Steps:

• Purée raspberries with syrup, sugar, and lemon juice in a blender or food processor. Pour mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing on solids.

RASPBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the raspberries, sugar, and orange juice in a saucepan. Whisk the cornstarch into the cold water until smooth. Add the mixture to the saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the desired consistency is reached. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
• Puree the sauce in a blender or with a handheld immersion blender and strain it through a fine sieve. Serve warm or cold. The sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

RICH ORANGE FLAN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F. Spread sugar evenly over bottom of heavy skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar melts and turns light caramel color. Add 3 tablespoons boiling water, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Pour into ungreased quiche dish or 10-inch glass deep-dish pie pan or 8-inch (2-quart) square baking dish . Tilt to evenly cover bottom; set aside.
• In medium bowl, beat remaining ingredients with electric mixer on medium speed 1 to 2 minutes or until thoroughly blended. Pour over caramelized sugar. Place baking dish in large pan (broiler pan). Pour 1 inch hot water into broiler pan.
• Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until mixture is almost set and knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 1 hour; refrigerate 1 hour. Run knife around outside edge to loosen; turn upside down onto 12-inch round serving plate with raised sides to hold liquid. Garnish with spun sugar.
